Proverbs 26:11-17

¹¹As a dog returneth to his vomit, So a fool returneth to his folly.

¹²Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him.

¹³The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; A lion is in the streets.

¹⁴As the door turneth upon his hinges, So doth the slothful upon his bed.

¹⁵The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; It grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.

¹⁶The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit Than seven men that can render a reason.

¹⁷He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, Is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
